Hi All, I've got a machine with an nForce3 250 chipset. The Ethernet controller isn't seen on install by either Sol10 03/05 or Nevada b.24 I follow the instructions in the HCL (download the driver from SysKonnect, add to machine, run "update_drv -a -i "pci1297,c231" skge...) But still no luck. I know the ethernet card works under Windows, and while I can't be sure that prntconf -v show it (I have several entries with "driver not attached" in the output there), I know that scanpci (called from /usr/X11/bin/scanpci) shows that I have what it calls an "nVidia ethernet controller" at a specific PCI slot #.
My guess is that the cryptic message "driver loaded but could not attach" that I get when installing the sysconnect driver means something along the lines of "can't find the address of the specific card this driver goes to on any known local bus". How close am I with that? My questions for all you kernel guys out there are: 1.) What do the numbers in /etc/driver_aliases mean? For example, an entry might be 'skge "pci1297,c231'. So, drivername/space/ somenumber/comma/someothernumber. Where do these come from? 2.) How do those numbers correspond with the output from scanpci? 3.)What is the difference between scanpci and prtconf -v, w.r.t. sifting the right info out of the hw? Why does scanpci mention that I have an ethernet controller and prtconf seems to be oblivious? Many thanks to anyone who can shed some light on all this. -Jeff A.
